Open Graph Title: Knowledge as Code — an open pattern for durable knowledge bases
X Title: Knowledge as Code
Description: Knowledge as Code applies software engineering practices to knowledge management: plain-text canonical, self-healing, multi-output, zero-dependency, Git-native, ontology-driven. An open pattern by Sam Rogers, stewarded by PAICE.work PBC.
Open Graph Description: Plain-text canonical. Self-healing. Multi-output. Zero-dependency. Git-native. Ontology-driven. Six properties that turn documentation into a buildable artifact.
X Description: An open pattern that treats knowledge like code: plain text, self-healing, multi-output, Git-native, zero-dependency, ontology-driven.
